OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- A young widow and two family members were shot to death as they celebrated Thanksgiving, and two of her late husband's brothers were arrested, authorities said.

The deaths Thursday shocked members of the city's tightly knit Eritrean immigrant community, some of whom gathered Friday at the north Oakland apartment complex where the victims lived, sobbing and wailing.

Asmerom Gebreselassie, 43, and Temodros Gebreselassie, 39, his suspected accomplice, were arrested late Thursday and booked on suspicion of three counts of murder. The older brother admitted being the shooter in the incident, which apparently was in retaliation for the death of a third brother, Abraham, this year, Officer Roland Holmgren said.

The victims were Abraham's widow, Winta T. Mehari, 28; her mother, Regba Baharengasi; and her brother Yonas Mehari, a 17-year-old high school student.

The triple killing brings Oakland's homicide total for the year to 138. Last year, there were 94.

Thousands of Eritreans came to the U.S. during or after their country's 30-year war of independence with Ethiopia, which ended in 1991. According to the Eritrean Consulate, 7,000 settled in the San Francisco Bay area, about 2,000 of those in Oakland.
